Neil,

No, we don't have a leopard system here yet.
Is this a PPC platform you have, or one of the newer intel based? 
The binaries are built on PPC and therefore expect big endian byte ordering.

It looks like the services for X connections are not enabled on the system.
Can you launch standard xterm and other applications? If so, then
the general environment is set up correctly and then the runtime
environment is not backward compatible with the environment I have here.
